Unbelievably disappointing!!
My honest opinion of the App is “Please don’t waste your time”!! I worked consistently for just over a year before I noticed the change. I had one complaint about a gig. The time had changed the day of the gig. I had informed them of the error and I was punished. Recurring gigs that I always worked I’m no longer allowed to apply for. Whenever I apply for a gig and get accepted, I’m then immediately cancelled from the shift. What I find funny is no company has given me a bad review. I have nothing but five star reviews on my profile. They constantly send me gigs that’s out of my traveling range. But of course my requests go unanswered!! I feel like I’m being ignored/ punished for speaking up. I’m so disappointed due to me telling all friends about the App. Unfortunately they have had more of a problem than myself. I would hate to throw away two and half years, but I can’t waste anymore of my valuable time.

Just a thought
Gig smart is GREAT app to make money quickly. It is. Its a 5 star app although I wish a few things would change… Just an idea I understand my rating ig 5 yes it deserves the 5 for the purpose and platform just a few helpful insights😊
1. I do not understand why we can’t recieve tips, its blocked.
2. I do not understand when they hire you they will send you another alert and if u miss the second alert they will unhire you (sometimes it comes through the app sometimes through text) that needs to be removed, people can be busy, gym or something.
3. I wish they allowed you to work as much as you want (example: a gig starts at 11am - 2pm and same place has a gig 3pm to 7pm) you are only allowed 1 but if course next day is fine. WE want to work as much as possible
4. The pay should be a bit hire. Yes I understand the reason for the $1/per hr. But if the normal is ((ex: $17/hr, plus %of mileage & tips (the app should at least pay the full $17 since there are NO other incentives))

Payment issues
This app was good right up until a few days ago when a requester contacted me outside the app told me not to come due to the weather and not having funds to cover payment on the days I was supposed to work. Contacted gig smart about it and I have basically been told that I’m not getting any payment because the requester said they canceled my shift due to performance. First my shift were canceled because the requester failed to contact gig smart and let them know that they didn’t not need me to come in 3 hrs before my shift was supposed to start. Then gigsmart restricted my account which canceled my shift for the next day out and I get called out filie being a no show….that clearly doesn’t make any kind of since. The policy states that I will be paid 50% of what I was originally supposed to be paid for the day and I’m missing two days worth of payment and time I can’t get back because of how the requester and gigsmart handled the situation. My advice to everyone is to be careful when working on this app and with these requesters.@ Cockyeye had a very good point and I have been having that same issue as well!

Gigsmart is not it
The customer service department is rude and condescending. They threaten to remove you from the platform for illegitimate reasons and make you feel horrible for reaching out in the first place. The requesters can take a very long time to approve your pay. If you click the wrong button, there is no going back. This can cause you either lose money or lose a job offer. You also cannot message the requester without being hired for the job. So there is no communicating if you lose the job. And there is an unreasonable amount of times that you are asked to confirm for the shift and if you don’t confirm, you lose your job. Gigsmart is not it. I recommend finding another gig app.

Something isn’t right !!
I really appreciate this app & the vast opportunities that it offers, but I’m rather confused at times. It seems as if I have to confirm a job 2-3 times to ensure that I’m going to show up & complete the job. When I 1st downloaded this app, I only had to confirm once. I’m noticing either last minute or after my shifts have been canceled that I was supposed to confirm again after I’ve already confirmed in front of the hiring manager. This is frustrating because I’m anticipating to show up to work & so are the employers that are expecting me. This isn’t a good impression that I’m showing Gigsmart or any of their partners. Currently, I believe my account has been restricted because of this matter & I was personally sent shifts directly from an establishment & now I don’t see them anymore. What is going on ? Can I please have some assistance ? I use this app to assist me with making up for bills that my other job cannot cover & that puts me far behind than I need to. Please, help.

Great App for Work ASAP
This is a really good app to use if you are looking to work immediately ASAP, because the process of getting a job now is a lot longer with having to wait for an interview, and then going being in the hall having to wait two weeks just to get paid. I highly recommend individuals to use the gig apps because you can get your money the same day for a small fee.

Waitstaff’s, prep cook, Dishwasher
The only concern that I have is getting an offer while working at the job 100% of the time we’re not allowed to use phone while on duty and kept missed an offer due to time limitations I wish if there is a better system to respond to offers
Jobs never accept applications yet they’re up there for months.
Gigsmart needs to be more strict with businesses in regards to how long they can keep their postings up. There’s literally jobs that never accept applicants but have been up for going on a year now. I’m pretty sure they don’t even remember posting the job on there in the first place nor do they consistently check for applicants. Been on the app for 2 years and have not gotten a single job because it’s always the same job that never accepts applicants but for whatever reason stays on the site.

Efficient
Easy to use and navigate. GigSmart also allows for one to pick up new skills to earn funds and get paid the same day, if not the next day. GigSmart offers endless opportunities!
Reliable
I was a bit nervous and bummed that wasn’t getting any of the gigs I would apply for but after a little bit of patience, everything was fine.
